in that ·to erect less than the proposed six-unit townhouse building on the subject site would prove economically unfeasible; that the plight of the owner is due to unique circumstances in that the two-story attached single family townhouse arrangement requires greater horizontal land coverage and encroachment into the requirement front and rear yards in order to provide dwelling units of a livable size for the prospective owners; and that the proposed two-story six-dwelling unit townhouse structure to be built on a corner parcel and set back 11 feet from the structure to the east will not impair an adequate supply of light and air to adjacent properties and is compatible with the existing residential improve-ments in the area; it is therefore ·

RESOLVED, that the Zoning Board of Appeals. by virtue of the authority conferred ·upon it, does hereby make a variation in the application of the district regulations of the zoning ordinance and that a variation be and it hereby is granted to permit the erection of a two-story six-dwelling unit townhouse building whose front yard will be 1 foot instead of 15 feet and whose rear yard will be 20 feet instead of 30 feet, on premises at 1252-56 W.
